    Doubt you'll find a road legal motocross bike as they aren't designed for road use, no lights and most likely no loom so it would have to be a bigish job to get legal. All enduros should be road legal as they could have road sections.

    Getting insured could be difficult.

    Yamaha WR250 would be worth a look.
    4-stroke - I mention that because a DoneDeal link above has a WR 2-stroke which I didn't know existed.

    The WR two strokes came out long before the 4t versions.
    The gearbox from a WR450 fitted the YZ250 to give the wide range needed for an enduro machine.

    Road legal one are rare as hen's teeth: I sold mine last year, after 6 years, for more than I paid for it.............

    No-one is buying them new, that's the problem, and I'm not surprised considering the prices involved...........

    Be very careful of buying a 'road legal' UK bike: they have a system of 'daylight MOT' which allows a range of off road stuff to be registered - competition bikes etc.

    Unless the bike has an actual V5C, number plate and instruments - especially an odometer - you won't be able to register it here at all, no matter what plate is on the back of it.

    I have seen people caught on this, so very caveat, very emptor.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
